Agree with you. Most of the stuff in games with micro transactions are gambling, which is addictive.
The game play itself can also be, any game if left unchecked, especially with children (but then can almost everything).
Its about the right balance, especially if parents don't do anything to control their children. Even though this isn't limited to children, it also occurs with adults.
But with the following :
"In 2011, he explained, the US Supreme Court upheld an appellate court ruling striking down a California law that banned the sale of some violent video games to children without parental consent because it violated the right to free speech."
So are they saying, ratings do no matter? So a child is able to walk into a store and buy hardcore porn, due to free speech? If not, it should apply to games also. Just because its violence and not sex doesn't make it any different even though violence is more acceptable for some reason.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
